Documents / Official release
This is a Clinton Presidential Library release from the NSC email collection, filed under Area 51 and covering September 1997 to February 2000. It contains withdrawal sheets for redacted emails along with released messages. Staff are told not to use the term Area 51, and draft press guidance says the President renewed an exemption for the Air Force operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada, from disclosure requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. One message jokes about jury duty summonses sending staff to Area 51.
